The night raid begins.

Vega with 3 regiments totaling 4,800 men prepared to attack head-on.

The ultimate goal of this night raid was to show a determination to win the city of Tully, and at the same time to pluck Ingli's already tense nerves and interfere with his correct judgment.

It's like a bird with a bow.

As long as you pull the bowstring underneath, even if there are no arrows on the bow, the bird that has been wounded by the arrow will think that it has been hit by the arrow and fall downward.

Will Ingrid be fooled?

In Vega we see that it is entirely possible with the right operation.

For he had done his work well enough, and the heavy smoke rising from the large camps and meals for the sake of pretentiousness had probably made Ingrid think that he had a legion in his hands, not a brigade.

"To sum up, this battle must be won. ”

After giving a brief explanation to the people, Vega gave the order to begin the siege.

Boom Boom Boom –

The fire mage's fireburst first tore through the darkness of the night and slammed into the enemy's gates, shattering the heavy gates with just three light attacks, opening the way to attack the city.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Since Ingrid ordered to increase vigilance, the enemy's reaction was not slow, and the warning signal was sent at the first time, and the nearest mage troops had come out of the city gates, lined up for defense and counterattack.

Besides.

A column of soldiers on the tower of the city was already waiting for the battle, and the longbow in his hand had been drawn until the full moon.

"Attack!"

Under the orders of Vega, the whole army launched its first assault on the city of Tully.

Since Vega did not have too many troops, in order to create the illusion of "I am strong", he ordered all the troops to attack, and the defending Kingdom Army was a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Scout, scout. ”

Ingliel from the tower of the city shouted in a frightened voice: "I need to get accurate data on how many troops the enemy has, if this fierce attack can continue until dawn, we will be finished." ”

"Report to the division, the reconnaissance unit cannot find out. ”

The commander of the reconnaissance battalion was also sweating profusely, and he said tremblingly: "Recently, our unit has suffered heavy losses under your frequent reconnaissance orders, and now we really can't send more reconnaissance troops, and in this kind of dark night, even if there are enough manpower, we can't detect the specific number. ”

Bang!

Ingrid gave the commander of the reconnaissance battalion a kick: "If you are short of manpower, you will give me a personal reconnaissance, and if I can't get a specific number within an hour, I will kill you." ”

"The teacher is angry, the teacher is angry. ”

The commander of the reconnaissance battalion wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Although it is impossible to find out the exact value, judging from the extent of the enemy's attack at this stage, there are probably 2-3 divisions of the main force. ”

"2-3 divisions?"

Ingrid's eyes took a cool breath, and the number he estimated in his mind was about the same as the number estimated by the commander of the reconnaissance battalion.

Therefore, when the commander of the reconnaissance battalion said this, he was basically sure that the frontal force of Vega had 3 divisions, otherwise it would not have been possible for the first wave of attacks to be so fierce. Generally in siege warfare, the first wave is a tentative attack, and it is also the weakest attack.

So what should we do now?

The idea of abandoning the city of Tully and breaking through the north gate irrepressibly resurfaced in my mind.

If there are 3 divisions in the front, then it will definitely not be able to fight, it is better to take advantage of the strength of one division and regiment to break through directly from the north gate. If you're lucky, you can break through directly?

But is it really good to abandon the city defense like this?

Ingrid's heart was shaking, and he was well aware of the strategic importance of Tully.

If the city of Tully is occupied by enemy forces.

Then all the forces of the Holy Dynasty in the east could cross the Donbu River through the large port west of the city of Tully and regroup in the west, and the royal army also lost the opportunity to leave the royal family and other army groups in the east and annihilate them all.

Ingrid gritted her teeth.

He said to the adjutant beside him: "Transfer the 7th Regiment to resist, and at the same time inform the temporary operational command of the staff that I am going to hold a discussion meeting on retreat or defense." ”

One person counts short, two people count long.

Realizing that he could no longer maintain a clear combat mind, and that his fear of Vega had broken through the sky, Ingrid decided to follow the advice of his staff.

————

Sassy and sassy.

Like a breeze drifting by, this little bit of sound was like fireflies and a bright moon compared to the explosion of elemental magic, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.

That's right, it's a squad of shadow mages who have started trickery.

In a war, mage assassins such as the Shadow Mage often play an important role in assassinating enemy elemental mages or performing decapitation tactics behind enemy lines, although the former is often more common and the latter is less common.

The reason is simple.

In an elemental mage squad, due to scarcity, there are times when there are no word mages, but the mage elite escort team responsible for defending the combat command will definitely be equipped with 1-2 word mages.

Therefore, the former has a high chance of success, while the probability of paralyzing the command is small.

However, this time, Vega ordered the Shadow Mage team to abandon the assassination of the Elemental Mage and instead lurk in the city to perform a decapitation tactic against the enemy's combat headquarters with a very small chance of success.

Isn't that useless work?

If it is put in normal times, of course, it is useless, but this time Vega risked his life to personally lead the mage team to take out the enemy's headquarters, with his eight or nine combat skills and the strength of his magic companions, he really didn't believe that he couldn't kill a temporary combat headquarters, after all, the temporary combat headquarters was not the general headquarters.

So why is Vega, who has always been afraid of death, so desperate?

The reason is also very simple, he first ordered the night attack, so that the enemy could not detect the specific strength, and at the same time used a high-intensity attack to create the illusion that he had several divisions, but this high-intensity attack could not last more than an hour.

Other words.

If he fails to bluff Ingrid in an hour, then he will be exposed.

Now 20 minutes have passed, but the kingdom army has no intention of retreating, so Vega can only take matters into his own hands and add fuel to the fire of this war - decapitating the enemy's temporary combat headquarters.

As long as the temporary command is destroyed.

Then presumably Ingrid will realize that the intensity of this attack is far more terrifying than he imagined, coupled with the psychological shadow caused to Ingrid in the past, Vega does not believe that he will still order to hold the city.

"General, I found it. ”

The leader of the Shadow Mage team pointed to the small house in front of the Moving 2 City, where there was a team of elemental mages protecting it, and the two spirit mages behind the elemental mages were on high alert.
